Hatton transport board depot sets record: Rs 4.765 million revenue in a single day

The Hatton depot of the Sri Lanka Transport Board has recorded the highest single-day revenue in its history.

Hatton depot manager Palitha Weerasuriya said the record one-day revenue was registered on the occasion of the Deepavali festival.

Accordingly, a revenue of 4.765 million rupees was earned in the 24-hour period from the published report of November 7, 2026 to 6:00am on November 8, 2026.

A total of 82 buses were operated on long-distance and short-distance routes yesterday, and it was through them that this revenue was earned, the depot manager added.

Depot circles say the extra buses operated to meet festival-season travel demand paved the way for this record revenue.
